Paddy’s Pub is a place where one can go to have more than an interesting time. The owners and workers always keep it entertaining. But, if you are looking for a more formal place and have a more exquisite taste in alcohol this is definitely not the place for you. Paddy’s is a more lay back bar with strictly drinking nothing but hard liquor and beer. Unless you want to get ridicule and made fun of you should stay clear of wine and basically any classy drinks. I would advise one not to go if they get their feelings hurt easily. The workers seem extremely sarcastic and do not hold back what they are thinking even if it is not nice. Also Paddy’s Pub is not what I would call nice. The bathrooms are more disgusting than a gas station. One night at Paddy’s Pub is a night that will never be forgotten.
Cricket Fighting
I found the whole idea of cricket fighting ludicrous and pointless when I first heard the title of the story. My opinion slightly changed after I actually read the essay. I actually found it interesting that people would actually train crickets and spend all that money on a bug. To my surprise there are actual events and places just for cricket fighting and people really do bet on these fights. This story takes place in China with a man who has a translator talking to Mr. Wu who is big into cricket fighting. The translator describes to the man what cricket fighting is and all the requirments and rules to it. Cricket fighting is more popular in Asia than anywhere. Through the story you understand more about how people can actually train crickets to do what they want and sneak around to be able to bet on the actual cricket fights.
